All of the products at Petyk Customs are individually hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind creations, and not factory manufactured. As a result, products will have subtle variations from one piece to the next, caused by the natural variations in the wood as well as the hand crafting.
As the piece ages the colors will darken slightly. This is simply due to oxidation in the wood as it ages and can be remedied by refinishing the piece(s).
